      OSN to double its investment in Arabic content through OSN Originals

      OSN to double its investment in Arabic content through OSN Originals

      Patrick Tillieux is CEO of OSN.

      ShareTweetPostEmail

      OSN cemented its foray into Original productions this year with the launch of new shows including 'A’adet Regala' season three, food reality show 'Yalla Neta’asha' and Syrian war drama 'No Man’s Land'.

      OSN has announced plans to double its investment into Arabic content in 2021 through the launch of OSN Originals, a new content umbrella dedicated wholly to regionally produced content.

      The launch of OSN Originals comes after a brand relaunch and Disney+ Originals partnership which was announced back in April 2020.

      The newly launched OSN Originals represents a new era of content resilience for OSN in the Middle East and North Africa. The OSN Originals will host recently launched star-studded season three of A’adet Regala, the food reality TV show Yalla Neta’asha and the Syrian war drama, No Man’s Land in partnership with Fremantle.

      OSN also announced the latest addition to the OSN Originals roster, Curfew, a feature-length Egyptian film directed by Amir Ramses, which will be premiering at the Cairo Film Festival in December.

      With over 1500 hours of Arabic-language content currently on the platform, OSN’s vision for 2021 will focus heavily on Arabic content, split between acquisition and Original production. By the end of 2021, Arabic and Original productions will represent 25% of all content on OSN.

      Commenting on the launch, Patrick Tillieux, CEO of OSN said: “As one of the largest players in the regional entertainment industry, we bear a unique responsibility to give our audience’s content that resonates and taps into their passions and aspirations. Audience demands have evolved, and OSN Originals was borne from the need to meet these demands. We truly believe in the importance of local content and OSN Originals is further testament to our commitment to this. We have structured this as a long-term strategy and priority focus that will translate into a library of unique never-seen-before and never-told-before stories from the region.”

      Rolla Karam, Interim Chief Content Officer, OSN, remarked: “We are on a mission to bring the content that is exciting, closer to home and has the power to move our audiences. The guiding principle of our content strategy is to be inclusive enough to embrace the diversity of our audiences across the region. Whether it’s a scripted or non-scripted piece of content, the story and its relevance to the region will determine its originality.

      Curfew was directed by Amir Ramses, a key creative partner of OSN Originals. Commenting on the launch, Ramses said: “The time is now for our local stories to be celebrated. Middle East audiences have evolved, and so have their tastes and expectations for regional content. It’s been an honour to be selected by OSN and in turn, be provided with a platform of millions of viewers across the region. The soon to be launched Curfew will be showcased on OSN as the first feature-length film under the OSN Originals umbrella. There is a strong demand for Arabic content that provides quality production values, gripping storylines, and themes that reflect the world regional audiences experience today.”

      Set in the Middle East and mainly in Syria, No Man’s Land focusses on the humanitarian aspects that people in the region can relate to while shedding light on angles that have never previously been portrayed or told before on the big screen.

      Amac Us, Vice President, Sales, Middle East, Africa & South East Europe at Fremantle added: “We identified OSN as the right partner to take the gripping Syrian war drama No Man’s Land to the region. Starring an international cast, No Man’s Land is an emotional and fast-paced drama with a story that is very close to the hearts and minds of local audiences. We’re proud of this unique collaboration with OSN which will bring this high-end production to the Middle East as an OSN Original series.”

      OSN’s first Original production, season three of A’adet Regala was launched earlier this year, cementing OSN’s mission to provide localised, tailored and culturally relevant Arabic content to the audience, on-demand, in keeping with today’s consumer viewing habits.

      Commenting on the new season, Saliee Waly, Producer of A’adet Regala noted: “OSN Originals is designed with themes and hot-topics that create buzz both on-air and online, exciting existing and newer, younger subscribers to engage in the new ‘water-cooler’ moments that today occur in the social media space. This is what this show is all about, featuring heated debate reflecting much of what is thought but not spoken about often in our region and shines the spotlight on these topics, igniting conversation both offline and online. Having celebrities feel comfortable enough to share what’s on their minds is what makes this show, truly authentic and different to the rest,”

      OSN Originals will support regional producers, screenwriters and talent, providing opportunities to connect with audiences across OSN’s expansive network in over 20 countries.
